Chapter 138: Yakov Captured (Gal. 1)
The equipment of the Soviet army has always been insufficient, on the one hand, because they constantly turned their infantry divisions into tank divisions after reorganizing and seeing the bravery of the German armored forces.
On the other hand, because of the expansion, the Soviet war machine has been set in motion, a large number of reservists have been called into active duty, they are preparing for war, and Moscow has already smelled something.
Yakov was one of them, originally an engineer, but an artilleryman, and now, a prisoner.
The artillery regiment of the 14th Tank Division of the Soviet Union was suddenly attacked, and when the news was learned, it was already dark, and the face of the division commander, Colonel Variseyev, instantly darkened.
After entering the mountains, the radio signal became very poor, they began not to get in touch with the artillery regiment behind, and Varisiev did not think much about it, after all, he had a combat mission.
However, when the rumbling cannon sound sounded in the distance, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered the motorized infantry behind him to go to reconnoitre.
As a result, the infantry brought an extremely shocking news that the artillery regiment behind had been attacked, and now, the personnel and equipment of the artillery regiment were gone!
Only corpses on the ground, craters after shells, yellow-orange-orange shells, telling them what had happened.
"Gorokhov, no matter what method you use, you must get the people of the artillery regiment back!" On the radio, Varisiev almost roared to his commissar.
In the army, the power of the commissar is higher than that of the head of the army, the reason is simple, the commissar can report to the superior at any time, there is a problem with the thinking of the chief, and next, it can be cleansed.
The position of the political commissar is unshakable, but now, the division commander is yelling at the political commissar.
Gorokhov, of course, did not dare to slack off, he also realized the importance of the matter, and hurriedly led the infantry to look around.
It was pitch black, and with the glow of a flashlight, Gorokhov led people around the battlefield to look around.
Yes, it's on the battlefield, otherwise where else can you go?
There were messy horses' hooves at the scene, as well as traces of tank tracks, and if the artillery regiment had been captured, they would have been taken away long ago! Gorokhov is with the infantry, how to chase, how to catch up, how to fight?
His own tank troops have already entered the mountains in front, and only one tank can be accommodated on the road, and the tanks cannot turn around, let alone drive back, and now, Gorokhov only hopes that the people that the division commander is looking for will not be captured by the enemy, but will stay near here, quietly hide, and even, maybe have retreated back to the Caspian coast?
Gorokhov's busyness soon paid off, and in the bushes inside the col they found a limping soldier.
"I'm the loader of the 14th Regiment." Lapridze looked at the infantry of his tank division and reported to them: "When the Iranian cavalry was cleaning the battlefield, they didn't notice me, so I fled here. ”
Iranian cavalry? Sure enough, it was them, and Gorokhov didn't have time to deal with this, so he hurriedly asked: "Where is your company commander Yakov?" ”
Captain? Laprize's mind was still dizzy at this time, and he didn't think clearly about the meaning of the other party's question, generally speaking, he should ask the regiment commander first, but it doesn't matter, the regiment commander and the company commander are together.
"We were firing artillery and fighting the opposing tank forces, and suddenly, the Iranian cavalry rushed up." "The regimental commander got into the car with the company commander and wanted to retreat, but as a result, they were overtaken by several cavalrymen. ”
"And then?" Gorokhov asked, having been caught up by the Iranian cavalry, which had already sunk his mood to the bottom, and now he was just holding out a glimmer of hope, maybe the situation was not so bad.
"Then they surrendered, the living people of our artillery regiment, were taken prisoner, and the Iranians, driving our cars, dragging our artillery, took the men of our artillery regiment and left, it seems, in the direction of Tehran."
Captured? Damn it, it was actually captured by the Iranians, or went to Tehran, this is simply too bad news to be bad! Gorokhov felt his hands and began to tremble incredibly.
Far away in Moscow, it was already late at night, and Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviets, had not yet rested, and was still working for the Soviets.
The Finnish battlefield has been conquered for a long time, and now, the Iranian battlefield has also evolved into a Finnish war! Now, he is continuing to mobilize the army, and has mobilized several more divisions, with a total strength of about 100,000, but for some reason, he still has no bottom in his heart.
In recent years, the Soviets have hardly won much except when they united with Germany and destroyed Poland, which is simply too embarrassing, and this time, we must win, and we must win beautifully!
Stalin looked his eyes at Qazvin again, this small place has actually become the main battlefield, and now, the forces of both sides are gathered in Qazvin, this battle, even if it is more sacrificed, must be won!
"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Stalin, it's not good." At this moment, Khrushchev ran over in a panic, and this sound made Stalin very annoying.
"What's wrong?" Stalin did not look back and asked him.
"Yakov, Yakov was captured by the Iranians and should have been taken to Tehran!"
Khrushchev had just come from the telegraph room, and when he received the news, he ran over to report it, and now he was panting heavily, and for a Humpty Dumpty man like him, the running just now had made him out of breath.
As soon as Yakov went to war, he was captured!
In an instant, Stalin's heart was not calm.
As a leader, he had to think about the interests of the whole, and the interests of the Soviets were paramount, and this was most vividly reflected in Stalin's actions.
For example, Stalin was a Georgian, but Stalin knew very well what the Georgians were and absolute separatism, so he suppressed the Georgians mercilessly, and most of the Georgians who were exterminated died at his hands.
Now, Stalin's son, although he is the son of his ex-wife, although the father and son usually do not have too much communication, but, after all, blood is thicker than water, after all, it is the father and son who are connected.
It's just that the ripples in Stalin's heart only rose for a moment, and he was once again occupied by coldness, this son is really not a weapon, being captured is the most humiliating, even if he dies in battle, it is better than being captured!
"Simply, let's turn around and attack Tehran directly, and now, the main forces of Iran are all attracted to Qazvin, and Tehran is definitely empty." At this moment, Voroshinov spoke: "This is just the right time to save Yakov." ”
